Like a civil engineer, just not as up tight. They perform managerial tasks on the job site as well as design engineering (i.e. temporary structures). They spend a lot of time on the job site overseeing the actual construction of a project and making sure it gets finished in a cost efficient, safe, and timely manner.
The civil engineers don't like it when they find out that construction engineers make more money than they do!

Inside each cylinder, the air is mixed with fuel that is sprayed in by the fuel injectors. The spark plug ignites, causing a small but powerful explosion. This explosion rapidly expands the air that is inside the cylinder, forcing the piston upwards. The piston is connected to the connecting rod which turns the crankshaft. The crankshaft spins and is connected to the transmission, driveshaft, rear differential, and finally, the rear axle and wheels.
